General Workers Party of Hungary

The General Workers Party of Hungary was a social democratic political party in Hungary that was active from 1880 to 1890. The party was forged through the merger of the Hungarian Labor Party and the Non-Voters Party, and it was unable to use the name "Social Democratic Party" due to its revolutionary connotations. After party leader Leo Frankel's arrest in 1881, the party came under more moderate leadership, and it moved away from the ideals of class struggle and proletarian internationalism. In 1890, the party became the Social Democratic Party of Hungary.
